004 - Red Rock Ranch, Uncle George Korkmas - Back Down Home, Beyond the Liner Notes
November 30, 2021 14:14 - 24 minutes - 56 MBIn the mid 70's, my grandad bought a piece of land in the Texas Hill Country, built a place on it with his buddies, and called it Red Rock Ranch. Nearly 50 years later, it's still there and a big part of my family. It relates to this record because it's the place I go to isolate and work on music, especially when it comes time to buckle down, finish songs, and really think about what's working. In this episode, I sat down with my great Uncle George while we were there in the Spring of 2021 to...

001 - Wrecks Bell & The Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe - Back Down Home, Beyond the Liner Notes
September 27, 2021 14:00 - 38 minutes - 87.2 MBIn the first episode here I sat down with Wrecks Bell, longtime friend and bass player for Townes Van Zandt and resident of Galveston, TX. Wrecks started The Old Quarter in Houston in the mid 60's then re- opened it in Galveston in the Mid 90's. He's got some fantastic stories about the venue, ZZ Top, heroin deals gone bad, and of course Townes Van Zandt. He's a great guy and has been really good to me over the years. In my search for stories about interesting people down on the Gulf Coast, ...
